Being a single and relationship-paranoid INFJ, I'm curious as to the successful or unsuccessful relationships of INFJs with other types. Of course, the apparent "ideal" relationship being with an ENTP, I'm curious as to how that relationship dynamic works from the perspective of an INFJ. Don't get me wrong - I'm interested in the other types dynamics as well, since obviously true love is not limited to what's considered "ideal".
For Successful Relationships/Marriages
- What do you love about the type you chose?
- What initially attracted you to the person?
- What facets of your relationship have you personally struggled with? Or what have they struggled with regarding you?
- Even though you're happy in your current relationship, do you think you would be even happier with someone of another type?
- Do you/have you find yourself drawn to certain types other than the "ideal" ENTP type? Which types and Why?
For Unsuccessful Relationships/Marriages
- What didn't work about the relationship? (Please state type)
- What was the hardest part to deal with in the relationship?
- What drew you to that person in the first place?
- Anything you enjoyed about their type?
- Would you ever be with someone of the same type again?
- Do you/have you find yourself drawn to certain types other than the "ideal" ENTP type? Which types and Why?
For Those Not Currently In A Relationship
- Are there any specific types you are not attracted to or would not date?
- Are there specific types you prefer or are searching for?
- Have you ever dated an ENTP? Or any NT? (please specify which) If so, how was that relationship?
I personally have dated guys of varying types - ISFP, ESFJ, ENFP, INFP, INTJ, etc. The ones I connected with/idealized most of course were the N's. The ones I communicated best with were the Es. Ever so slowly I am discovering what I work best with and hoping I can find someone that compliments me perfectly. However I do have an issue of trying to reduce love to a science, which I know is unreasonable. But hey, a girl can try!
